The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Three-stage gain architecture with separate bass and treble controls; EVH-signature voicing optimized for high-output pickups; tight, controlled low end resists mud even at extreme settings; responsive dynamics preserve clarity across the entire gain spectrum.
Designed to pair with high-output humbucker guitars; works best in front of a tube amp for full harmonic complexity; minimal setup required; consider a dedicated power supply for pedalboard integration given current draw.
A distortion pedal engineered by one of rock's greatest innovators for players who prioritize aggressive tone without sacrificing note definition. The EVH Modern delivers the goods for serious practitioners of heavy music.

Meanwhile, dedicated Bass, Mid, and Treble controls shape your tonal character with exacting precision. From crunchy syncopated rhythms to fiery, harmonically rich solos, the EVH Modern High Gain Pedal equips you to take command of any mix.
When it’s time to push your leads over the edge, the Boost switch kicks the gain up to the next level. The 55Hz/80Hz switch toggles between a fatter or punchier low end, adapting seamlessly to any setup. And for maximum clarity at cranked output and gain levels, the Noise Gate control reins your signal in with just the right amount of discipline.
